Being a visual learner, this was a big help. Thanks bud! I'll give Midnight another go around. I didn't even consider that it could have been the Rotor. I was using a Reloader II before getting the Rotor and had zero problems with chop, but a ton of problems with feed consistency. Next time I go out, I'll post my results on here.

Most likely a shop, in my experience at least most reailers carry a ton of JT, midnight, toxin, and usually some other "tournament grade" which is always a low end paint at a premium price... I'd check out a paintball shop or order from ANSgear (free shipping on paint)

Edit:with that being said, i usually use midnights at a HRoF and havent had any problems, but since u are i would try this^^

Get some formula 13. I totally love F13, sometime I would even prefer it over marbs

Can I find it in any retail stores or will I need to look in paintball shops?

Personally I would go to a paintball shop and get it there. The last time I ran a full case of formula 13 thru an etek 1 and 3 they shot very well, unlike the fucking marbs( more premium btw, maybe my team got a bad batch) which kept confetti-ing

I actually like Midnight a lot. Especially for the price. My local field uses Valken Infinity, and it's not too bad. It's probably in a similar price range. The field charges $42 a case, but I imagine its less than that at a shop or something. Looks like its $35 a case at ANS:

My team uses Draxxus RecSport paint for practice because it is inexpensive yet still a good overall paintball. If you wanted a step up you could go for bronze but IMO thats already to high for just recreational play. Remember the Etek isn't the most gentle of markers but it should be able to shoot MOST of the paint out there. However my Etek 3 hates super high end paint like Draxxus Hellfire Gold & G.I. 5 star. I think its because I have a hush bolt a that moves incredibly fast compared to my Luxe that is a spoolie w/ the feather touch manifold engaged (doesn't shoot at very high ROF but very soft on paint).
